‘Sex and Sustainability’ Event Mixes Art and Development

by Leah Greenbaum

“Hundreds of onlookers packed into the Alphonse Berber Gallery on Bancroft Way Tuesday night to learn about how unmitigated population growth hampers development in Third World countries.

The graduate student group Bixby Youth in Action, along with the Sierra Club, sponsored “Sex and Sustainability,” an event that examined the connection between population, poverty and women’s empowerment through a series of art pieces by UC Berkeley students.

The group is sponsored by the Bixby Center for Population, Health and Sustainability, the Sierra Club and Americans for Informed Democracy.”
